La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
Come to the water at the riverside
Quenched from the desert that you came from
Kings of the earth came with their vanity
Came placing their wagers on their mortal ventures
Your heart has brought you to this land
You’re standing on a giants’ shoulders
Your heart has brought you to this land
Where your love is strong and bolder
Your heart has brought you to this land
The beauty of a heart for others
The day the you arrived
You knew that you could ride
Oh... on Giants’ shoulders
Ancient pathways stretch from shore to sky
And fathers look deeply into their children’s eyes
